Wugapodes, it occurred to me that you might have some expertise on the heart of the content dispute in the political correctness article. On the talk page I wrote:
To clarify: There are oodles of sources talking about people using the term pejoratively. If we could assume that the number of sources talking about people using the term pejoratively vs. number of sources talking about people using the term literally is an accurate reflection of actual usage, the word "primarily" would indeed be correct. This is the heart of the problem, IMO. It's not that no one is using the term nonpejoratively. It's that when they do, no one comments; it's not newsworthy when a word is used in its literal meaning. So without doing OR, how are we to express what we keep hearing from new-to-this-article editors who keep coming in here and saying, "Wait, what? That's not correct; I hear it used nonpejoratively often." My argument to Pincrete is that we need to do a reality check. His to me is that a reality check is OR. And there is where we get stuck.
Then after I wrote that, I was thinking, "I wonder if a linguist would have any idea where and how we might find that someone actually has done research on actual usage?" And I realized I'd just seen a linguist somewhere. :) I know you've been involved both at the article and the ANI, but as the dispute involves a HUGE wall of text at both places, much of it extraneous and dense, I wasn't sure whether you'd drilled down enough to know what the actual root of the issue was. valereee (talk) 14:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-02-25T14:36:00.000Z","author":"Valereee","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Valereee-2016-02-25T14:36:00.000Z-linguistic_expertise?","replies":["c-Wugapodes-2016-02-26T00:07:00.000Z-Valereee-2016-02-25T14:36:00.000Z"]}}-->
I'm out of town for a funeral at the moment, so don't have ready access to the papers I linked, but someone at Resource Requests might be able to get you a copy faster than I can. If not, I can give them a read this weekend maybe and try and give some additional comments. Hope that helps!

Hi Wuga, I noticed you brought up the Goncalo study. As it happens, it's freely available and I have recently brought it up as a source on the talk page. It specifically states "often derogatory".

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Santosky v. Kramer, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Fourteenth Amendment and Fifth Amendment. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points.
In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible.
To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here
Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule.
To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lockhart v. United States (2005), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Justice O'Connor. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

However, as the rationale you provided makes clear, the result isn't so obvious (i.e. it falls into "close calls and controversial decisions"), such that I'd like to request you revert and leave it to an admin. In fact the only keep !vote that made the case for notability based the argument on a flawed premise (that allmusic sidebars are acceptable sources such that the article shouldn't have been "purged"). As I see it, this is an obvious merge. As you've closed it as keep rather than no consensus, despite saying a merge discussion can take place elsewhere that close will stymie attempts to merge. Regardless of my own explanations, however, the fact remains that consensus is not sufficiently clear for a NAC in my opinion. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 04:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-04-13T04:51:00.000Z","author":"Rhododendrites","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Rhododendrites-2016-04-13T04:51:00.000Z-baroque_pop_artists","replies":["c-Wugapodes-2016-04-14T03:20:00.000Z-Rhododendrites-2016-04-13T04:51:00.000Z"]}}-->
Done. I still think there is clear consensus to keep as it stands, but I don't see a problem with allowing someone else to close or relist it. If my reading was wrong, reopening is for the best, and if my reading was right, it will get closed the same way. So I don't see a downside to reopening. Thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks. I shouldn't have gone into my own rationale as I'm not trying to persuade you to close a different way -- just that I don't think it's so clear cut.

Thursday saw the end of Round 2. Sainsf once again took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 996 (a higher score then he received in Round 1!). In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 541 points, and in third place, Carbrera received 419 points.
In Round 2, 142 reviews were completed! At the beginning of April, there were 486 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 384. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [1]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months.[2] It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep lowering the backlog as much as possible.
To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. We had an unusual occurrence happen in Round 2: because only one contestant submitted reviews in one pool, we selected the contestant with the next highest score to move forward to Round 3. (There will be a rule change for future competitions in case something like this happens again.) For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 will start on May 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on May 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here.

Hi Wugapodes -- thanks again for your awesome hard work on SCOTUS articles! I noticed that you have been using the {{ussc}} template when citing to SCOTUS cases. Unfortunately, the template doesn't format citations correctly if you are citing to the slip opinion rather than the opinion that is published in the United States Reports (it usually takes 3-4 years before an opinion is published in the United States Reports). The proper parameters for a citation to a slip opinion are (1) Case name in italics, (2) docket number, (3) citation to the volume of the U.S. Reports in which the case will be published (with the page number represented as "___"), (4) "slip op. at" page number or page range, (5) year of publication in parentheses. For example, a citation to pages 1-2 of the slip opinion of OBB Personenverkehr AG v. Sachs looks like this: OBB Personenverkehr AG v. Sachs, No. 13–1067, 577 U.S. ___, slip op. at 1–2 (2015). After you provide the first full citation, you can then provide short citations, which look like this: OBB Personenverkehr, slip op. at 1-2. If you want to cite to a dissenting opinion or concurring opinion, you add an explanatory parenthetical that looks like this: Reed, slip op. at 1 (Breyer, J., concurring in judgment).
I thought I should let you know in case you were interested. In any event, I hope you are enjoying a nice weekend!

Thanks for the heads up and all your kind words. I added that functionality to {{ussc}} itself since it's probably something I (and others) will run into in the future. Your examples have been really valuable, and I really do appreciate them. Coding a template is made so much easier when there's a clear outline, so your breakdowns of the style are as much a part of all this template editing as my coding.

It has been brought to our attention that we made a mistake in the last newsletter. In the last newsletter, we said that the "4th place" overall would make the Final along with the top user from each pool. However, the users who will advance will be the top user from each pool along with "4th and 5th place" overall.
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that we caused.

Hi Wuga. You reviewed this IP edit in Brent Burns, and accepted it. I have reverted, it would need sources per WP:V. For years the article has been saying "Barrie Icemen" and "North York Canadiens". A change into "Barrie Colts" and "North York Rangers" is an attempt to be sneaky.

Thanks for reaching out and for maintaining the article.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Heffernan v. City of Paterson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fourteenth Amendment. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Okay, it still will be a few days so take your time, and if I do put it on hold (which is likely, I've only ever quick failed four articles) I'll be sure to give you extra time.

Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. Sainsf, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, MPJ-DK earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, Carbrera received 137 points with just 9 articles. Our two wildcard slots went to J Milburn with 122 points and Sturmvogel 66 with 101 points.
In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed! At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [3]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [4]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue.
To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC' and end on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found here. A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round.
To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

As a side note, please take a look at MOS:LISTGAP. Leaving a comment with :* instead of ** poses accessibility issues for visually-impaired individuals using screen readers to access and edit Wikipedia. This little-known issue is widespread, so no worries that you didn't know about it, but it would be helpful to if you used ** instead of :*.

On 28 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article McGruff the Crime Dog, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a year after McGruff the Crime Dog asked people to lock their doors, dog ownership in the United States had increased but there was no increase in people locking their doors, possibly due to a plateau effect? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/McGruff the Crime Dog. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, McGruff the Crime Dog), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thursday, June 30 saw the end of the 2016 GA Cup. It was a huge success. In the final, our five competitors reviewed an astonishing 207 articles, the most in any GA Cup final thus far. We continue to reach our goals and make a substantial impact in how quickly articles are reviewed for GA status. On March 1, the start of this competition, the article longest in the queue had languished there since June 26, 2015 [5]; in the July 1, 2016 list, the average wait length is just four months [6]. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for their enthusiasm, and for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success. Remember that most articles can't even be considered for FA status unless it's been passed to GA first, so our efforts have created hundreds of potentials FAs. That is, as they say, a big deal.
The final this time represented a real horse race between our 1st and 2nd place winners. First-time competitor (who had won all previous rounds) Sainsf earned an impressive 1456 points with 91 articles reviewed during the final. Close behind, in second place was Carbrera, also a first-time competitor, reviewed the most articles (94). Their enthusiasm was a treat to witness. Congrats to you both!
The competition went relatively smoothly, with very little drama this time. We had to clarify one rule: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We were strict about adhering to this clarification, especially at the end of the final. We intend on stressing it in the stated rules for our next competition, which will be announced soon, so watch out for it. We also intend on applying for a grant through Wikimedia to include gift certificates for our winners, to further incentivize the GA Cup.
MrWooHoo should receive special recognition for acting as our main judge, and for stepping in for the rest of the judges when real-life busyness took over. He reviewed the majority of the submissions during our final round. Thanks for your hard work, and for the hard work of all our judges. We look forward to the next competition.
Again, thanks to all our competitors, and congrats to our winners.

...so much for your appreciative note. Getting the article into some kind of useful shape has been something of an uphill ride. But it's easier by the day; always a good sign!

Thank you for your kind words, and for your hard work doing GA reviews! I'm not a great reviewer so I'm always grateful to work with someone who is. :) Keilana (talk) 00:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-04T00:36:00.000Z","author":"Keilana","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Keilana-2016-07-04T00:36:00.000Z-A_cup_of_tea_for_you!","replies":[]}}-->
